This study examines the impact of feed-in tariffs (FITs) on promoting investments in renewable energy (RE) in Southeast Asia. Using a unique annual firm-level dataset from six Southeast Asian economies from 2012 to 2021, we find robust evidence that FITs in Southeast Asian economies...

This paper examines the drivers of private investment in renewable energy by source of funding for 13 global economies over the period 2008 to 2018, with a focus on a sub-panel of Asian economies. Using a seemingly unrelated regression model, this paper provides a first quantitative estimate of...
